SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change a 0.01 acre parcel of airport property at the
Wellington Municipal Airport (EGT) from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical for revenue producing use. This parcel will be leased to a
GKN Aerospace Precision Machining, a current tenant, to construct a 25
ft. x 25 ft. storm shelter.
No airport landside or airside facilities are presently located on
this parcel, nor are airport developments contemplated in the future.
There is no current use of the surface of the parcel. The parcel will
serve as a revenue producing lot with the proposed change from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical. The request submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and the change to non-aeronautical status of the
property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The Wellington Municipal Airport (EGT) is proposing the use release
of a 0.01 acre parcel of land from aeronautical to non-aeronautical.
The use release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The rental of
the subject property will result in the land at the Wellington
Municipal Airport (EGT) being changed from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c) (2) (B) (i) and (iii), the airport
will receive fair market rental value for the property. The annual
income from rent payments will generate a long-term, revenue-producing
stream that will further the Sponsor's obligation under FAA Grant
Assurance number 24, to make the Wellington Municipal Airport as
financially self-sufficient as possible.
Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above. In addition, any person may upon request,
inspect the application, notice and other documents determined by the
FAA to be related to the application in person at the Wellington
Municipal Airport.
Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 27, 2021.
James A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
